"The Ocean" in the Salem Gazette

Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1825

HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864). "The Ocean." In: The Salem Gazette. Salem, Massachusetts: Ferdinand Andrews and Caleb Foote, Jan-Dec 1825.



The Ocean has its silent caves,

Deep, quiet, and alone;

Though there be fury on the waves,

Beneath them there is none.

The awful spirits of the deep

Hold their communion there;

And there are those for whom we weep,

The young, the bright, the fair.



Calmly the wearied seamen rest

Beneath their own blue sea.

The ocean solitudes are blest,

For there is purity.

The earth has guilt, the earth has care,

Unquiet are its graves;

But peaceful sleep is ever there,

Beneath the dark blue waves.



A black tulip of American literature collecting: a rare run of the 1825 Salem Gazette, containing the earliest located appearance of any of Hawthorne's work, his poem "The Ocean." This copy is from the collection of his bibliographer, C.E. Frazer Clark, Jr. Rare: according to Clark, the last copy to be sold at auction was the Stephen Wakeman copy in 1924. "Material by Hawthorne, presumably verse, appeared in newspapers as early as 1819 according to a reference in a letter to his sister Maria Louisa dated Salem, Tuesday, 28 September 1819: 'Tell Ebe [sister Elizabeth] she's not the only one of the family whose works have appeared in the papers.' The work Hawthorne refers to has not been located" (Clark). "The Ocean," the earliest located newspaper publication of Hawthorne's work, appears in Number 68, published on Friday morning, 26 August 1825. It would not appear in book form until 1833 when it was included in The Mariner's Library. Clark D1.



Folio (510 x 355mm). Bound volume, blue paper-covered boards (handwritten label, occasional creasing to leaves, a few edges curling). Provenance: C.E. Frazer Clark, Jr., Hawthorne bibliographer (annotations).
